There are currently more than 100 titles - from current best-sellers to classics, nonfiction and even children's books - pre-loaded and ready-to-read on each Nook. The same titles are available on each Nook, although the Nook Color also includes fun, interactive children's books with animations and a "read to me" feature where the device will read the story out loud! Most titles can even be turned into large print titles by changing the text size on screen.

Please note: you must be 18 or older to check out a Nook.

At its November meeting, the Ripon Public Library Board of Trustees voted to increase fines from five cents per day to ten cents per day on non-video adult materials, effective on materials checked out after January 1, 2012. The fine increase will affect books, magazines, audio books and compact discs in the adult collections. The maximum fine limit on audio/visual items has also increased to $5 per item. Fines on children’s materials and on all videos remain the same. Please contact the library with any questions.
